By the third one, “Birdman” was so wounded he was having trouble just getting out the damn way. Andersen clearly lost the battle with Jeff Green (25 points, 8 boards, 2 assists) but thankfully the Heat won the war, defeating the Celtics 109-101. Otherwise, all of the pain and suffering would’ve been for naught.

If Jeff Green can just get it in his heart to be a little nastier, he’d be damn near unstoppable every night. He is an complete offensive package but tones down his game when playing with KG and Paul. The Celtics need him to demand his space with the top tiers of his own team.

i was watching the game and on that third play Birdman just ole’d his ass and let this smart dumb guy body himself. as E. Reid put it, “he knocked himSELF out.” Green’s lucky he didn’t break something.
